You Don't Know What Love Is (5:17)

You Don't Know What Love Is - 1995

The second B-Side from the "Another Cup Of Coffee" single.

This is certainly my favourite of the B-Sides the Mechanics ever did, and could happily sit next to the album material. Again it's a Paul Carrack vocal, and with it's misleadingly quiet opening, yet snappy chorus, this song is classic Mechanics.

Lyrics

You don't know what love is baby, someday you may
You don't know the hurt you cause
And all the thoughtless things you say

You don't know, you don't know

You don't know what trust is maybe, someday you find
Someone is obsessed by you
Remember to be kind, then you know

What you don't know

Cut to the chase
Spare me the lie, right to your face with no disguise
I'm not beeing mean, seems you've a lot to learn

Well you don't need to be smart, or try to be cool
Noone suggesting you're a fool
To your face, to your face, to your face

Baby, you don't know what love is, someday you may
You don't know the pain you cause
With all the crazy things you say

You don't know, oh you don't know

You don't know what hope is baby, you have to try
Put your faith in someone, doesn't mean he'll make you cry

You don't know, you don't know

Put down your guard
Give me a break, just take a chance that's all it takes
To my face, to my face, to my face

Tell me, You don't know what love is, someday you may
You don't know the pain you cause
With all these crazy things you say

You don't know, no you don't know

You don't know what love is baby
But someday you may
And you don't now the hurt you cause
All the silly thoughtless things you say

You don't know, you don't know, you don't know baby
You don't know the thoughtless things you say
You don't know what love is
Someday you may, someday you may
